NTFS folder permissions and other shared resource permissions can be applied to both local and networked users, so when someone logs into any Windows workstation on the network, or via a remote connection, they’ll receive the same set of NTFS file permissions. In addition to Windows folder permissions, NTFS permissions utilities can also be used to grant or restrict access to network containers and Active Directory objects. NTFS share permissions can be applied to any NTFS-formatted drive.
